This course introduces an individual to different disciplinary perspectives on Climate Change to help you think about how Climate Change affects you as a person, as a member of your local community, as a citizen of your country and as a member of the global community

This free online course examines (1) the factors responsible for climate change; (2) the biological and sociological consequences of such changes; and (3) the possible engineering, economic, and legal solutions to avoid more extreme perturbations

This short module discusses how a changing climate can also lead to changes in extreme weather events on the local scale. The module describes how climate change can have both positive and negative effects, depending on the situation, location, and the vulnerability of the population

This module is an overview of the different effects climate change produces in different regions of the United States. The module also presents information on how climate scientists use specialized models and statistical techniques to estimate how regional climates are likely to change in the future

Weather and Health - University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, United States(2 hours)

This course provides an understanding of the impacts of weather and climate on public health. It also introduces learners to the public health communication system, informing them about reliable public health support services, tools, and resources available

Weather and the Built Environment - University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, United States(2 hours)

This course provides broadcast meteorologists, educators, and the public with an overview of the evolution of our modern urban environment, with a focus on impacts on the watershed, air quality, climate, and local and severe weather events

Climate Insights 101 is a short course series designed to provide users with an in-depth understanding of climate science and related issues. 101 is produced as a series of modules, each with several animated lessons

This course teaches students how the climate system works; what factors cause climate to change across different time scales and how those factors interact; how climate has changed in the past; how scientists use models, observations and theory to make predictions about future climate

Leading Change and Action on Climate Change – University of Oxford (10 weeks)

This course will examine climate change issues, current approaches to leadership at the local, national and global level and will support students in developing their own approach to leading change and innovation on climate change in a personal, local or professional context

Global Warming: The Science and Modeling of Climate Change- University of Chicago (8 weeks)

This course describes the science of global warming and the forecast for humans’ impact on Earth’s climate. It is intended for an audience without much scientific background but a healthy sense of curiosity

The first half of the class explains climate physics and how the climate works; the second half shows how human activity and ever-increasing carbon levels disrupt the equilibrium of the environment, creating a very uncertain future for generations to come

This unit explores the topic of climate change and global warming focusing on areas such as how the Earth’s global mean surface temperature is determined, the natural greenhouse effect, and how this contributes to a balanced global climate and the human impact on the atmosphere

Community Based Adaptation to Climate Change - Center for Sustainable Development (8 weeks)

In these online courses students actually develop real projects in communities that focus on a community-based approach to adapting to climate change, investigate the special challenges in their project and refine the project's activities to build sustainability and impact into the project

The four week course brings leading and renowned scientists to provide a synthesis of the most recent scientific evidence and provides an analysis of likely impacts and risks with a focus on developing countries

Climate Change Science and Modelling Biophysical Impacts – United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research(UNU-WIDER) and African Economics Research Consortium (AERC) (3 weeks)

This course covers the current science on climate change and its biophysical implications. It is designed for professionals in different disciplines who are confronting the issue of climate change in their work
